I first noticed it when my Window's fire wall started asking permission for programs that already had permission to be allowed to work. I am locked out of Window's Software Explorer. When I run an ad-aware scan I find numerous problems and even after ad-aware fixes them they still pop up.

The instructions being given are for YOUR computer and system only!Using these instructions on a different computer can cause damage to that computer and possibly render it inoperable!

Please read all instructions carefully before executing them and perform the steps in the order given.lf you have any questions or problems executing these instructions then <<STOP>> do not proceed but rather post back with the question or problem.

Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured that any links I give are safe.

You must have Administrator rights permissions for this computer.

DO NOT run any other fix or removal tools unless instructed to do so!

DO NOT install any other software (or hardware) during the cleaning process. This adds more items to be researched.

Only post your problem at one (1) help site. Applying fixes from multiple help sites can cause problems.

Only reply to this thread. Do not start another thread.

The absence of symptoms does not imply the absence of malware. Please continue responding until I give you the "All Clean".

You might want to place a link to this thread in your Favorites/Bookmarks for easy access.

No Reply Within 3 Days Will Result In Your Topic Being Closed! Please let me know in advance if you will not be able to reply within this time limit.

The logs I request can take a while to research so please be patient.

Please be aware that removing Malware is a potentially hazardous undertaking. I will take care not to knowingly suggest courses of action that might damage your computer. However it is impossible for me to foresee all interactions that may happen between the software on your computer and those we'll use to clear you of infection. I cannot guarantee the safety of your system. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system or to necessitate you taking your computer to a repair shop.

Because of this I advise you to backup any personal files and folders before you start.

Zero Access infectionYour DDS logs show that you have a Zero Access rootkit infection. This infection has remote access capabilities. The initial DDS log also indicated the presence of a keylogger which is very good at stealing passwords; this software had been on your system since at least April 1 but did not appear in the second set of DDS logs.

You should do the following:

Disconnect the infected computer from the Internet and from any networked computers until the computer can be cleaned.

Call all of your banks, credit card companies, and financial institutions. Inform them that you may be a victim of identity theft and to put a watch on your accounts or change all your account numbers.

Do NOT change passwords or do any transactions while using the infected computer because the attacker will get the new passwords and transaction information.

If you use your computer for online banking or for any other financial transactions, you should seriously consider reformatting your hard drive and reinstalling Windows.

Some versions of this infection are extremely difficult to remove, and if you opt for us to clean your computer there is a possibility that you may lose connection to the internet, in which case you'll need to have access to another computer so you can contact us. We will of course attempt to resolve the connection issues if they happen, but I can give no guarantee that you may not have to reformat after all.

It's really important, if you value your PC at all, to stay away from P2P file sharing programs, like utorrent, Bittorrent, Azureus, Frostwire, Vuze, Shareaza, Bitlord. Criminals have "planted" thousands upon thousands of infections in the "free" shared files. Virtually all of these recent infections will compromise your Security, and some can turn your machine into a useless "doorstop".

As a condition of receiving our help, if you choose to have us help you clean your computer, it will be necessary for you to remove the following software:BitTorrent 6.0BitTorrent DNA

I strongly recommendthat you uninstall the programs identified above however that choice is up to you.

If you choose NOT to remove these programs, please indicate that in your next reply.

If you choose to remove these programs then perform the following steps:

I have a second computer to access the internet with. I am using that computer now. Can the keylogger get stored passwords? I will remove all the programs as you asked and have no problem doing that. I actually never use any of them anyway.

I won't be able to proceed with that until I get home from the hospital. I had an episode at 4:30 am Wednesday morning and will be here tonight (wed) and tomorrow night as they are implanting a defibrillator device. It kicks starts my heat if I become arrhythmic again. I guess that ends my meth carrier.

Thanks for the help and I will get too it as soon as I get home.

p.s. I may end up backing up the kids pictures and just wiping it all clean. Maybe even trying to find a cheap upgrade to the operating system.

That's no problem. Focus on getting better and we'll be here when you get home. I am however glad that they let you have a computer in the hospital. It sure beats having to watch daytime TV.

Tracy wrote:Can the keylogger get stored passwords?

The primary function of a keylogger is to monitor keyboard activity. It is, however, executable code that can do anything that the author wants it to do. The good thing about passwords is that they can be changed from a clean computer. I'd assume that all passwords have been compromised and that they all need to be changed. That way you don't have to wonder if you missed one that they got.

If you choose to wipe your system clean and reinstall the current operating system (OS) or install a new OS then there are a few things to keep in mind.

If your computer has a recovery partition then you should be able to use that to restore your computer to its original out-of-the-box configuration. Otherwise you will need to reformat your disk before installing the new operating system. Simply upgrading to a new OS will not remove your current infection.

Reformatting the disk or using the recovery partition will cause you to lose not only files such as your pictures but also application data such as e-mails stored on your computer, calendar entries, contact lists, browser favorites/bookmarks, shortcuts, etc. Don't forget to backup that data as well. Do not however transfer any executable code to the new system.

The Attach.txt log produced by DDS contains a list of applications installed on your system. You might want to print that for future reference.

You will also need to reinstall any software that you installed. Furthermore, if you reformat your disk you will also need to reinstall any application software that was originally installed on the computer when you purchased it so you'll want to find the installation disks for that software.

You will need to bring the (re)installed OS up-to-date with respect to all security patches before using the system. Be sure to also install antivirus software and bring its virus definitions database up-to-date after installing the OS and before doing anything else with your system. You will then need to install application software and bring that software up-to-date with respect to all available security patches. You can then transfer data files back to the system and then run a full antivirus scan to make sure that nothing bad came along for the ride.

If you're thinking about upgrading to Windows 7 then you might want to visit Microsoft's Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to make sure that Windows 7 will run on your computer before purchasing the OS.

I have a question regarding upgrading to windows 7. My windows xp is an upgrade, so if I buy the windows 7 upgrade do I have to install 98 then install xp and then install the win 7 upgrade? Or is it something where I can install the win 7 software and then just put the xp disk in when prompted to to prove that I have it?

You may find Microsoft's Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 tutorial to be useful. Step 1 in that process, Make sure that your programs and devices will work with Windows 7, will have you run the Upgrade Advisor that I mentioned in my previous post. I would suggest that you do that now. I have two computers that came with XP installed and neither meet the hardware requirements for the upgrade. I strongly suspect that yours will not either if it originally had Windows 98 installed. Let me know what it tells you.

I am now home and feeling fine except for a little pain where they cut my chest open enough to fit the defibrillator in. My hardware is advanced enough for win 7 but it looks like I would have to repurchase new versions of old programs like photoshop and I am not going to shell out the money.

I was running ad-aware and teatimer but this Trojan still got in. What else should I run for protection?

I have included below my standard post for when either malware has been removed from a system or the decision has been made to reinstall the operating system. In particular, the Computer Security – A Short Guide to Staying Safer Online provides a detailed answer to your question. Note that, as stated in the Guide, you should always have one and only one anti-virus package installed.

More specific to the Zero Access (ZA) infection that you have, a senior member here has the following good advice as to how you may have become infected and the best ways to prevent that in the future.

ZA is primarily distributed using 2 methods .....

1. Drive by infections, where a poisoned link is surreptitiously added to a legit site, and the malware loader utilises an "exploit" to install.

2. Social engineering, where the User is conned into downloading something which turns out to be other than what they actually expected.

To avoid the first it's important for users to keep Windows and all their programs up to date, so to minimise the number of exploits they are vulnerable to.

To avoid the second, Users should stop looking for free lunches, and be more selective about where they download things from. ZA often gets round the problem of UA prompts by using a genuine install of Flash as a "stalking horse" for the loader, so that the User thinks they are allowing an update of Flash, when in fact they are actually allowing privilege escalation for ZA.

Because of this, I would strongly advise people, that when prompted by a pop-up to update Flash, that they check at Adobe to make sure there actually is a new update, and if there is, to manually update Downloading direct from the link at Adobe.

----------------------------

The important thing now is to actively do things that will help keep you from getting infected in the future.

Keep Antivirus and applications updatedThis is the MOST IMPORTANT thing that you can do to keep from becoming infected.

Keep Microsoft products up-to-date with the latest security patches. Either

Enable some level of Automatic Updates

ClickStart > Control Panel. The Control Panel window will be displayed.

Double-click the System icon/entry. The System Properties window will be displayed.

I personally use and recommend the freeSecunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI). This program will keep you aware of software that is installed on your computer that contains security vulnerabilities for which security patches exist. I have mine set to automatically scan my computer weekly.

All updates are important but pay particular attention to updates for all browsers as well as Microsoft, Java and Adobe products. These are widely-used products that Malware writers frequently target.

My hardware is advanced enough for win 7 but it looks like I would have to repurchase new versions of old programs like photoshop and I am not going to shell out the money.

I take it then that you plan to reinstall Windows XP. Is that correct?

Please also understand that, per Microsoft's Windows Lifecycle Fact Sheet, support for Windows XP SP3 is scheduled to end on April 8, 2014. As of the date when support is no longer provided, regular security updates will no longer be supplied and the system will become more susceptible to infection every day thereafter. As such, please be aware that XP will only be viable on that computer for another 2 years. I'm not suggesting that you change your mind about reinstalling XP but rather just wanted you to be aware that XP will be unsupported in 2 years in case that has any bearing on your decision.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions and how you would like to proceed.

I haven't heard back from you concerning my previous post. I just wanted to check back one more time before closing this thread to see if you have any additional questions and how you would like to proceed.
